Who am I?

My name is Gemma and I am a fully qualified and insured massage therapist, working from my home in Lofthouse Gate, Wakefield. I provide holistic (sometimes known as Swedish) massage, a more gentle, balancing therapy that has benefits on a physical and psychological level.

When I am not busy looking after my family, I love being in nature or using holistic therapies to help people bring peace and balance to their lives. I have worked in health and social care most of my life and have seen how powerful holistic therapies can be, both alone or in conjunction with modern medicine, to support the healing process, helping us move forward in comfort, with strength.

How massage helps you

Massage has been used for healing for thousands of years and it is still around because it works! We call it massage therapy for a reason: the strokes of a massage encourage blood flow and lymph flow, flushing out toxins and bringing energy and oxygen to where it is needed, quite literally helping to revitalise cells. And the hands on soothing touch involved can promote the release of happy, calming brain chemicals.

Its not another wellbeing fad, or ‘just’ an indulgence - it’s a physical and emotional treatment for your whole self.

Massage can:

  • Relieve muscle tension and increase mobility.
  • Reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Relieve pain and boost the immune system.
  • Improve sleep.
  • Improve circulation and lymph drainage.
  • Increase energy and clarity.
